Blues Rock, Prog Rock, Psychedelic Rock, 1970-es album.
Remaszterizált Limited edition DIGI pack CD újra kiadás, 2021.
In 1969 I discovered a band in London. We called them “Someone’s Band” and recorded them for Deram a subsidiary of DECCA records. (I actually designed the album cover too!) To my surprise this is a highly coveted collectors album today! Selling on eBay for $1800. I was just notified via Facebook by “Sir Cecil” lead vocalist and member of the Band that this record is about to be re-released!
Steve Stevenson and I were partners in a company we called Clouds Music Enterprises. We had an office on Dean St. in London in 1968-69. Steve was a sound mixer at the Shaftsbury Theater for the English company of Hair! Produced by Robert Stigwood. We also produced records for Paul Nicholas and Kookie Eaton who were in the cast of Hair at the time. (Paul Nicholas went on to have a hit later with “Heaven on the 7th Floor”)
This was all happening around the same time the Beatles played on the roof of Apple; The Stones played free in Hyde Park while the skinheads ran wild through the audience. Elsewhere throughout London, “squatters” had taken up long term residence in vacant buildings.
I found this band in a flat in London one rainy night after responding to their ad in the Melody Maker or some such publication. We decided to record them in a cheap studio on Denmark St. ( Tin Pan Alley in the West End) Mike Cooper was the engineer – the whole album was recorded and mixed in one long night and soon after, we got a deal for the band with DERAM, Decca’s progressive subsidiary.
